In other Ramones news, CJ Ramone, who played bass in the Ramones from 1989 to 1996, has signed to Fat Wreck Chords who will release his new single on September 30 with a full length titled Last Chance To Dance to follow. He was joined by other punk rock royalty to record it too: like on his 2012 solo debut, his band includes Adolescents members Dan Root and Steve Soto and Social Distortion member David Hidalgo Jr. Plus, the single’s b-side is a cover of Black Flag‘s “Rise Above” which features former Black Flag member and current Misfits member Dez Cadena on guitar and backing vocals. The a-side is an original song, “Understand Me?” which is streaming below. CJ is also touring Brazil later this month into September. All of those dates are listed below as well.

In more Ramones news, Richie Ramone, the band’s drummer from 1983-1987, will join The Queers at their NYC show happening October 3 at Santos Party House. Tickets for that show are on sale now.
